[Verse 1] Tiny teeth in the timber, bright eyes in the wall We learn the shape of the room by touching it all Seeds in our pockets, questions in a line We make a little shelter out of borrowed time [Chorus] Build, build, build it in the open Gnawing at the dark till the daylight shows Small hands, big signal, everybody hoping A living book can grow where the channel flows [Verse 2] Forty little paths through the grass and the wire One finds a crumb, one carries the fire Not a king in a tower, not a voice from above Just a chorus getting smarter by the work we love [Chorus] Build, build, build it in the open Gnawing at the dark till the daylight shows Small hands, big signal, everybody hoping A living book can grow where the channel flows [Bridge] If the door is too heavy, we widen the seam If the map is too empty, we annotate the dream [Outro] Tiny teeth in the timber, stars over the yard The world gets softer when we work this hard
